TDI · The Doctor's Intelligence Broker

Jonathan Ingalls

AI specialist. I don't consult on AI from the outside — I run businesses on it, every day, and publish what actually works.

The short version: I spent two decades operating businesses — then rebuilt everything I do on AI: the marketing, the back office, the coordination, the media. Now I run a portfolio of ventures on it and this site is where the information lands. Dental transitions is where I proved it first. It won't be where it stops. (Why TDI? The Doctor's Intelligence Broker. Brokering practices is how I started. Brokering intelligence — what actually works, who it works for, and what it costs — is what the work turned into.)

The Thesis

AI Showed Up Just in Time to Save Dentistry. Believe It or Not.

Dentistry is the last profession standing. Did AI show up just in time to save it? The full argument — every statistic sourced, the case against it stated fairly, and a sample P&L of the practice of the next decade.

The Memo

The Choke Person

The first industry deep-dive: where AI actually lands in dentistry — silo by silo, with the numbers. Who gets automated, what percentage of the work, and the one person in every profession who survives. More industries to follow. Not a sales piece. A map.

About

About

Twenty-plus years operating real businesses; the last stretch spent rebuilding all of it on AI — automated marketing, coordination layers, media production, whole back offices. Dental practice transitions is one arena I know cold, so it got the first deep-dive. This site is where I publish what I learn across all of it, plainly, with nothing for sale on this page.

Half of practices have tested an AI tool. Fewer than one in nine has embedded one.
The gap between those numbers is the next five years of dentistry.
